Happy happy birthday Kimi! Hope you have a day filled with love and fun. Thanks for the sweet frame I grabbed it up and can't wait to play with it. Just in case you are interested I, too, now have a blog, can't believe it.myview-catherine.blogspot.com is the address. Drop bye and take a peek. xoxo Catherine "Cutler" from the Sprague playground.

Meeting my sister in Lafayette next weekend for TM scrapping class at 3. Since I'm almost totally digital now, I'll be giving her the LO I'll be making featuring 2 of her grandsons (if my niece comes thru with pix). Would love to meet you if you have a chance to drop by.

Could you tell me if others have experienced problems with their feeds of your site? I used to check it everyday before I subscribed, and after that I would get notices automatically when there was a new post. I hadn't gotten any new post notices from Feb. 26th until the one today. So, I missed out on the great paper offer :( It was beautiful!

Perhaps there is some setting I need to change to be sure to get all the posts? I have it set up on Bloglines currently. Let me know if you are aware of this happening to others please.

Happy birthday Kimi! Hope your day was wonderful. I have been out of commission for the past couple of days since I have been under the weather and was away from home. The frame is gorgeous and your creations are truly amamzing. :)

I am taking this really supremely cool class for iPhone photography!! It is all in video format and self paced. The only downside I have found is there is very little interaction with the others in the class. It works by posting your pics to your flickr account and yes, some people comment. I have found some of my internet friends there that was a happy surprise! So if you are into ART and are looking to take your pics to a different level. Lots of what is learned there can be easily transferred to your editing skills.

EDIT: here is a screen shot for you to see. The bottom image is my SOOC shot. Little Grace has the type of mouth where the corners naturally point down. If she is not giving me a real smile, I always make a small adjustment in her lips. Once you raise the corners of the mouth, the eyes seem to smile with you! Even a small nudge can make a big difference. I also added some extra comments in this post about brush placement. Hope the screen shot helps?

Here are some suggestions. Process your image.Ctrl J to make a new copy to work with. You will use the Liquify tool to make your changes.

Elements: Filter, distort, liquify.CS3: Filter, Liquify.

In both, you want your brush pressure to be around 30.In CS, I put my density at around 30 also.Make sure the top tool on the left side tool bar is selected. (warp tool) Ctrl+ to zoom in a bit.For a smile you want your brush size to be large enough to cover half of the mouth. Or the entire…

I love this time of year in Louisiana. We never really get a cold hard winter here, that is very rare. But, every year when it is time for the kiddos to head back to school my Spider Lilies bloom. A little surprise of a flower. They come up from the dirt with just a straight stalk and the flower explodes on the top. No warning at all. The greenery comes later to feed the bulb. Today I share a pic that I took a few days ago of my red ones.

So, lets talk about how it was processed...
I am shooting a Nikon D800 in raw. I open my pics in Lightroom because I an not a Bridge lover. I mainly use Lightroom as a file organizer, rarely do I edit in LR. I will set my white balance there. So easy!! On this image I used a preset called, Sunflare Left (RAW Pretty Preset) 2, I searched and can't find where I got it from. SORRY. Then I opened into Phtoshop. I am working in CS5. Next I ran Coffee Shops free action called Velvet Cream. I will be honest.... I use this action on so many of my pics. H…
